| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Manuel Pinto de Fonseca served as Grand Master from 1741 until his death in 1773 — one of the longest tenures in the Order's history — and his early years in office coincided with a period of aggressive monetary reform on Malta. The 2 Zecchini was among the higher-denomination gold issues produced under his authority, struck at the Order's Valletta mint, which operated with considerable autonomy from both Rome and the European crown mints of the period.
The Hospitaller zecchino took its name and weight standard directly from the Venetian ducat tradition. Fr#32 places this piece within a tight sequence of Pinto gold issues that numismatists have long suspected were struck in limited quantities for presentation and trade rather than everyday exchange.
